Halloween Goodies Get Treats Off To Tasty Start

IN THE KITCHEN

Want some special treats for your tricksters? Try this toasty ghost from Rhodes or something sticky-licious like a cinnamon streusel bundt or gooey caramel roll.

Toasty Ghost

1 loaf Rhodes bread dough, thawed but still cold

1 egg, beaten

Cut loaf into three to four equal sections. Press each piece into a heel, rounded on one end and square on the other. On rounded end, slice into either side, about one and one-half inches to form arms. Pull arms out and tuck pointed ends under.

Place on baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Pull bottom of ghost to one side, indent eyes and mouth with a clean pencil eraser end and brush with egg.

Let rise until double in size. Just before baking, exaggerate eye and mouth with pencil eraser. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, reinforcing eyes and mouth once after five minutes of baking.

Serve with a soup, stew or chili so those bones don't rattle as they wander the neighborhood a'haunting.

Let rise until double in size, about four to five hours at room temperature, or overnight in closed, cold oven. Remove wrap and bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Invert immediately on serving platter. Frost with cream cheese frosting, which is included in the package of cinnamon rolls.
